Chapter 687: It’s You!
It\'s You! . . .
Wenren Jianyin turned his gaze to the side and spotted Song Jue, who stood beside Cha Eun Xiao. He closed his eyes slightly and remarked, "Brother Song is here. It has been quite a while."
It was revealed that they were familiar with each other.
Steward Song was known for his extensive network of connections spanning the world, and he was acquainted with figures like Zhu Chenggong and Wenren Jianyin.
Wenren Jianyin, despite being an old adversary, chuckled, "Indeed, I never expected to see you here, Song Jue. Have you ever thought we\'d meet again on the battlefield?"
Song Jue laughed in response, "Never. I have always enjoyed my role as a steward. Well, Lord Cha is here, and his steward naturally follows. That\'s only reasonable. I may be presumptuous, but you should focus on the task at hand. This time, you won\'t be facing me directly. I\'ll be in a supporting role, closely watching your defeat. Your position in the Land of Han-Yang should have been relinquished to someone else long ago!"
Wenren Jianyin remained unfazed, offering a gentle smile. "It\'s always easy to awaken from pleasant dreams. I hate to disappoint you, but you\'re in for a letdown."
Song Jue harrumphed and fell silent.
Wenren Jianyin turned his attention to Ning Biluo and inquired, "May I ask who this is?"
Ning Biluo slowly raised his head, his gaze indifferent. He didn\'t provide an answer but instead averted his eyes moments later, seemingly dismissing a world-renowned war god.
A sense of unease overcame Wenren Jianyin, as if he\'d been pricked by a needle on the face. His heart began to race inexplicably, and an uncomfortable sensation gripped him.
This mysterious feeling was not limited to Wenren Jianyin alone; it also affected Wenren Chuchu and the elderly man accompanying them. The elderly man, in particular, had a profound change in his demeanor. Initially spirited and arrogant, he now felt an extreme chill, as though he were alone in a dark, forbidding forest, surrounded by menacing creatures.
He sensed that death could strike at any moment, and this realization caused his blood to run cold in his veins.
In a panic, he lifted his head and gazed at Ning Biluo as though he were the most terrifying being he\'d ever encountered. His once lofty and haughty demeanor had crumbled, and he was the least spirited at this moment.
Despite being a formidable cultivator at the ninth level of the Sky Origin Stage, he was no match for Ning Biluo, who surpassed him significantly. Ning Biluo held him in such contempt that he couldn\'t even be bothered to look at the old man. He was confident that a single swing of his sword could end the old man\'s life.
This was why the old man meant nothing to Ning Biluo in this situation. His gaze was incapable of piercing through the mysteries of Song Jue and Cha Eun Xiao, so he refrained from evaluating them.
Wenren Jianyin and Wenren Chuchu, on the other hand, realized that Ning Biluo was an exceptionally powerful figure, which left them both surprised.
Wenren Jianyin maintained a fa?ade of calm and blandly remarked, "I believe this should suffice for now. This afternoon, I look forward to witnessing the true capabilities of Brother Song and Commander Cha. I wonder if Commander Cha lives up to the legends."
With that, he turned his horse and shouted, "Let\'s return!"
The three horses bore them back to their respective camps.
Wenren Chuchu, who had departed only a short distance, suddenly halted and looked back at Cha Eun Xiao with a perplexed expression. "Lord Cha, have we met before?"
She had sensed a strange familiarity. The encounter with Cha Eun Xiao had left a lasting impression on her, and she was sensitive to his presence. Baffled, she inquired.
Cha Eun Xiao responded blandly, "Not to my recollection. My lady, with your silky skin and perfect physique, if I had met you before, I would never forget."
Wenren Chuchu couldn\'t conceal her displeasure and let out a disdainful humph. She scrutinized Cha Eun Xiao\'s countenance for a brief moment, then abruptly leaped into the air. Her lithe, white figure darted through the atmosphere, landing before Ning Biluo with a swift, unanticipated assault. Her movement carried an overpowering force, laced with a palpable, murderous intent.
It was a perplexing situation; she addressed Cha Eun Xiao but targeted Ning Biluo.
Ning Biluo was caught off guard.
Evidently, he had made the same error as Wenren Jianyin and the elderly man. He far exceeded the cyan-clothed elderly man and Wenren Jianyin in terms of strength, allowing him to discern their respective cultivation levels with ease. However, he had no knowledge of Wenren Chuchu\'s capabilities. Presuming that she was a young woman, he hadn\'t expected her to possess exceptional prowess and thus hadn\'t paid her much heed.
Yet, unexpectedly, this young woman concealed a profound mastery that surpassed even Ning Biluo\'s formidable skills. However, this didn\'t imply that Ning Biluo was helpless in this situation.
Ning Biluo was a formidable martial artist. Although taken aback by the surprise attack, he retained enough composure to react swiftly, drawing his longsword and retaliating.
The Shadeless Sword technique.
A sword materialized in Ning Biluo\'s hand seemingly out of thin air, and a surge of purple qi enveloped it. Thousands of sword shades erupted like a torrent, surging back toward Wenren Chuchu.
Ning Biluo had unleashed his most potent defensive move in response to the sudden assault.
Wenren Chuchu humphed, abruptly halting her advance and seamlessly retreating. Her movement was as fluid as a single motion, a remarkable feat.
Ning Biluo\'s Shadeless Sword technique was renowned for its unique and razor-sharp nature, but on this occasion, his attack hit nothing but air. The impact was reversed, and a subtle, repelling force pushed back against him. His spiritual qi encountered resistance, and he realized that things had taken a wrong turn. He had miscalculated. If Wenren Chuchu were to launch another attack, even if he managed to evade, he would find himself at a significant disadvantage in this contest.
With bated breath, Ning Biluo gathered his spiritual qi for a final strike. However, to his astonishment, the lady had vanished, a revelation that left him profoundly perplexed.
In the blink of an eye, Wenren Chuchu had returned to her horse, where she surveyed Ning Biluo with an expression of cool indifference. She spoke blandly, "From nothingness emerged purple qi in the skyline. I recognize you, Ning Biluo..."
